On Education: We've got to get critical race theory out of the schools

[On CRT in schools]: "We've got to get critical race theory out of the schools," Youngkin told right-wing talk show host Hugh Hewitt. Youngkin vowed to a far-right media personality, "I'm going to tell you, as governor, we will not teach critical race theory in our schools." He has more recently pledged to "ban" CRT from Virginia schools on "day one," should he win the election next month. He told Fox News that, critical race theory had "moved into our school system and we have to remove it."
